Every year March is designated Women’s History Month by Presidential proclamation. The month is set aside to honor women’s contributions in American history.
“From the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often the women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well …” -Jimmy Carter 1980
